SXL 2268: RIMSKY-KORSAKOV, BORODIN: ANSERMET: ED1

One of the best Decca SXLs! Exciting interpretations of Scheherazade and Polotsvian Dances in superb Decca stereo sound.

The vinyl is in excellent+ condition with a really quiet surface and no groove damage. The run-in grooves are virtually silent. This is the first ED1 label with “Original Recording” at 10 o’clock and the distinctive FFSS inner sleeve.

The sleeve is in excellent condition, although there is some discolouration where sellotape has been removed on the back.

SHIPPING - ALL PRICES IN GBP:

I have looked around to try and find the best deals on shipping, and I can offer some very cheap shipping rates as I have sourced a very cheap European road-based service that will transport up to 30kg (about 100LPs) for one low price, and a similar service for the UK. Please see the table below.

Methods of Payment

I accept paypal, cheque drawn on UK bank, and cash on delivery. Winning bidders are welcome to visit me at home (Hackney, in East London). I have a huge assortment of LPs for sale.

Guide to grading:

Mint: as new – might even be unplayed. Without blemish of any kind – no sounding or non-sounding marks, quiet surface, no groove damage, sleeve will be immaculate with sharp edges, and without creasing, writing, or difficult-to-remove stickers. I use this grading only rarely!

Near mint: virtually as new – at worst one or two small, very light non-sounding marks, or a few spindle marks. Definitely no audible marks – aurally, the LP should be superb with no groove damage and a quiet playing surface. It is possible the sleeve may have a few very tiny creases on the spine, or slight ‘browning’ – for details see individual listings.

Excellent: There may be some very light background surface noise, or a few surface marks. Again, there should be no audible marks unless specified in the listing. The sleeve may have very light creasing, or slight discolouration, but still be overall in very nice condition.

Very good: this LP will have audible imperfections such as scattered ticks, or an audible mark or marks. There are also likely to be visual imperfections such as light scuffs, or slight damage to the sleeve – e.g. break-through on the spine, or perhaps damage to the laminated surface of the sleeve. Again, please see individual listings for details.

Please note: The use of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, e.g. "ex+" or "vg-", means slightly better or worse than the indicated grade
